My Nature Nook is a hub of all things nature and nature inspired. An online resource for nature books, nature activities, nature walks and nature events aimed at children, schools and families.
Here you can find bright, bold, fun and inspiring nature activity books; a nature blog with guides to family-friendly nature walks and nature activities; and a list of guided My Nature Nook events and activities across the British Isles.
My Nature Nook is a one-woman project! My name is Leila, and I am an artist, herbalist, doctor, nature lover and full time mum to an active toddler, committed to creating creative, thoughtful, inspired minds in my own daughter and her peers by connecting families to nature. You can learn more about me here.
Through my independent publishing house, Laughing Linnet Publications, I work to create inspiring, child friendly nature activity books, guides and resources. These are available exclusively via My Nature Nook website, events and through Amazon. I am also available for nature teaching and activity sessions at schools, fairs and community events.
I am based primarily in the United Kingdom, but have traveled extensively and lived in many places. At the moment, all events hosted by myself will be based within the British Isles. Although, I may be organising events in Copenhagen, Denmark and Bangalore, India, in the future.
While direct events may currently be UK based, you will find a variety of international nature blogs and nature walks in my blog section. For example, this post about the Birds of Bangalore, or this Danish Nature Walk.
If you would like to contact me to arrange a teaching day at your school or community center or are interested in selling or using any of my resources or activity books, please feel free to email me at lbassir@mynaturenook.com. You can also subscribe via my blog for updates on courses and events, new books, walks and nature suggestions and activities.
Happy Nature Walking,
